Comprehensive Review of Military Awards
The Department of Defense has begun a comprehensive review of military awards and decorations. This review is expected to continue over the next six to eight months and will involve but not be limited to the following: (1) Honor and Valor awards with particular focus on clarity of criteria and processes; (2) The "V" device and the Purple Heart medals in eliminating disparate qualification criteria among the military services; (3) Expeditionary medals in regard to how the theatre of operations is defined; and (4) Iraqi and Afghanistan campaign medals with regard to subsequent awards of these campaign medals, with a goal of appropriately recognizing service over multiple tours in those theatres of operations.
